Happy Birthday to Blog

I will take this occasion to wish my blog, and me, a happy birthday. It is now 4 years old. I am somewhat older. Recent milestones of my blog include the migration to WordPress in the spring and my 1000th post a couple weeks ago. Lots of things going on other places, so check out my other sites at the right and my social profiles for a fuller picture of what’s going on. Cheers.

Digital Papercuts Has Moved

This post is primarily for my subscribers who view this blog in their feedreader. I have changed my blogging software to WordPress and that brings many changes. I would be happy to share my experiences with the blog move, and may do so in a future post.

You may see some duplicate content and old content in the feed, but that will clear up soon as I get everything up and running. The duplicate content results from pointing the same feed at a new site. Duplicate content is a small price to pay to keep my posts flowing toward your reader. Some of the older content may be posts that I published on other sites, and have now re-posted here for completeness.

And finally, I have changed the feed to summary mode rather than the full posts, so you can come to my site and give me some feedback on the new look. It is a work in progress that still needs some more tweaks, but I wanted to share ideas, videos and photos and couldn’t wait any longer. After a little while I may change the feed back to showing full posts. Please let me know your thoughts on that below.

What Your Blog Says about Your Personality

Here’s an interesting tool called the Typealyzer that scans the type of language used in a blog to determine your personality characteristics. The type of language we use in different situations reflects our personality type, also revealing our motivations and interests.

So according to the analysis of this blog, I am an ISTP. While I have never taken a Myers-Briggs test, I have always been interested in what my type was, and this description of The Mechanic type is mostly accurate.

If you use this tool on your blog, share your results below. I would be especially interested how it compares to the results from the Myers-Briggs if you taken it.
